Important Safeguards
Important Safeguards
Always follow these important safeguards:
Read all of these instructions before using the unit.
1
Plug the power cord into a 3-conductor
2

chapter to make sure the outlet meets the ampere
rating of this unit.
Never ground the power cord to a gas pipe or
•
a water pipe.
Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
•
Avoid using an extension cord if possible.
•
If you must use an extension cord, use only a
•
3-conductor cord rated for the ampere rating
of your unit. Refer to the Specifications
Chapter for this value. Power cords rated for less can overheat and become a fire hazard.
Do not operate the unit if any part of it is damaged, or if any part has been dropped, until it
3
is checked by a authorized Lanier Service Technician.
The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area.
4
Do not install the unit in areas that are:
5
Damp or humid
•
Exposed to direct sunlight
•
Extremely dusty
•
Poorly ventilated
•
Close to machines generating ammonia such as diazo copy machines.
•
Subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, for example, near an air
•
conditioner or heater
Place the unit on a firm, level surface.
6
For proper ventilation and cooling, keep the unit at least 0.4 inches back from the wall and
7
allow 0.4 inches of clearance on the left and right sides of the copier. Allow 29.6 inches of
clearance in the front.

This feature prevents unauthorized use of the copier by limiting copier access to those persons
who know an assigned User Code. The User Code feature monitors copier usage by department,
project, or persons, and tracks the number of copies made with each User Code.
The Key Operator can activate the User Code feature. When this feature is active, the Key
Operator can program User Codes into the copier’s memory. Each code can be from one to
eight digits in length. When this feature is turned ON, the user must enter an assigned User
Code, and press the (# Enter) key before the copier can be used.
The following instructions apply only when the User Code feature is turned ON.
Enter an assigned User Code using the key

Copier Functions 3 - 1
Document Feeder
Document Feeder
The Reversing Automatic Document Feeder (RADF), feeds originals to the Exposure Glass for
copying and if Duplex Copying is selected, it turns the original over for copying the other side
of the original. Then, it exits the original onto the Document Tray.
Precautions when using Document Feeders
1. Avoid using:
You can place up to 50 originals in the Document Feeder for automatic feeding of
•
originals to the Exposure Glass for copying.
You may also select SADF which allows you to feed one original at a time into the
•
Document Feeder without having to press the Start key each time.
Badly wrinkled or folded originals.
•
Clipped or stapled originals.
•
Carbon paper.
•
Torn originals.
•
Taped originals.
•
Damp originals.
•
1. Folded or curled originals should be smoothed out before inserting into
the Document Feeder.
2. Feeding a stack of different width originals through the Document
Feeder is not recommended.
Feed them through one at a time.
•
You can, however, feed a stack of different length originals through the
•
Document Feeder.
3. If the surface of any two originals are so rough that they cannot be
moved when pinched between two fingertips, the friction between the
originals may obstruct paper separation even when the paper weight is
within specifications.
2. Avoid covering the two sensors on the document feeder tray. These sensors detect the
original size and could cause the orignal
size to not be properly detected.
3 - 2 Copier Functions
RADF - Feeding Stack of Originals
RADF allows you to stack feed up to 50 originals into the Document Feeder by pressing the
Start key one time. If you are feeding single sheets into the Document Feeder, switch the copy
mode to SADF and you will not have to press the Start key for each original. See SADFFeeding One Original at a Time, below.
When using the RADF, place your originals
1
face up in the Document Feeder.
Adjust the Paper Side Guides to fit the edge

of your originals.
Set any additional copier features desired.
